And Langton insisted massive changes have to be be made in the wake of boss Arsene Wenger signing a two-year contract extension.

“Whatever views there may be as to whether it was right or not to give him a new contract, the board and the manager need to get to grips now with recognising the extent of the ill-feeling that exists and urgently look at ways of building bridges with many supporters.

“And if that happens, my concern is that our wonderful football club, with its rich history, is going to implode - and nobody wants to see that happen to the club we love.”
